Spoliers! You owe it to yourself experience it first without anyone else's comments, it only takes a few minutes.An extremely powerful infographic, well designed and well sourced. I love how after they said everything they said, they leave you to keep scrolling the last third of the 3 trillion. No more commentary, just letting the scale of it sink in. Though, something I wish they touched on in the infographic itself is rebuking the argument of “all that money is tied up in stocks! they don’t have that much money sitting around!” There are plenty of issues with that rebuttal of course and it’s not actually a valid defense of the ultra rich, but it’s a common enough counter that I think it warrants being mentioned to cover all your bases so to speak.

That actually is directly addressed on that website github.com/MKorostoff/…/THE_PAPER_BILLIONAIRE.md

TrustingZebra ,

That’s actually the best argument I read against this. I will be honest, I was thinking the same while scrolling, but this page made me think differently.

Also, there’s another one on the page about prison incarceration in the US, you should check that out as well

I went to that link and it was horrible, no the site is simple it’s just when it went to Bezos … then look at all the things we could have to make things better (free healthcare, free college, etc) just sickening.

And actually he does not have any money because its just his assets and what other people think they are worth but he is actually quite poor because he immediately spends all the money he makes to invest into new ideas to make the world an even better place for everyone.

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

We know he can’t quickly withraw the money at a good rate bit that does not make him not rich AF.

HelixDab2 , to lemmyshitpost in Am I actually in charge?

This is more or less correct. Your brain makes decisions, your conscious mind creates rationalizations for why you did the things you did. The conscious, thinking part of you isn’t really in charge at all.

CheeseNoodle ,

That was a really interesting article, though the implication does seem to be that you do indeed make some decisions longterm but that all decisions in the moment are basically automatic and rationalized later. If I decide that today I’m building a table thats a genuine conscious decision but the building of the table up to and potentially even including its actual design are probably falling back on automatic mechanisms.

Honestly doesn’t seem much different from muscle memory, riding a bike starts out as a very concious effort but ends up being automatic, it would make sense that thinking can be subject to a similar mechanism.

Cancer is when they rise up against you, and your human cells stop being a part of a macroscopic animal and begin a new life as a species of human-dna-having single cellular parasites

If you have time to sleep, you’re not an adult

EDIT: /s since that apparently wasn’t obvious

lowleveldata ,

I’m pretty sure not sleeping will kill you. So everyone living is a child?
